>> BATON ROUGE, La. — In the same south end zone where they just had to defend 
>> their manhood one last time, Florida players were now enjoying a celebration 
>> that could be felt all the way back in Gainesville.
>> 
>> David Sharpe and Lamical Perine were waving oversized flags. Cece Jefferson 
>> was hugging Gator fans at the fence. Austin Appleby tossed his wristbands 
>> into the orange and blue crowd.
>> 
>> And they sang.
>> 
>> Boy, did they sing.
>> 
>> “... the orange and blue VICTOOOOORIOUS!”
>> 
>> This was more than a victory over a team that Florida's players, fans, 
>> coaches and just about everybody not an LSU fan felt disrespected UF, right 
>> up to the skirmish on the field before the game.
>> 
>> So much more.
>> 
>> “To win the East on a goal-line stand, crazy,” said Caleb Brantley. “It's 
>> the greatest feeling in the world.”
>> 
>> They were having their fun Saturday afternoon for so many reasons. It wasn't 
>> just that they won. It was the way they won. It wasn't just that they won 
>> the East. It was that they did it by going on the road and beating an LSU 
>> team that accused them of being scared.
>> 
>> “We were terrified of them boys,” said Jalen Tabor with a straight face. “I 
>> guess out of fear, we just fought back.”
>> 
>> You can understand why this team celebrated this win with so much gusto. The 
>> game was taken from them and put in someone else's backyard. And then the 
>> people who took it added insults to the injury.
>> 
>> Seriously, I don't think I've seen a happier Florida football team and I 
>> covered three national championship games.
>> 
>> “It feels sooo good,” said Jefferson. “I love these guys.”
>> 
>> There was a lot of love being passed around after a fistfight came down to 
>> one last punch. Florida punched harder, stopping Derrius Guice just short of 
>> what would have been a stadium-rattling touchdown.
>> 
>> You remember Guice. The guy who said the Gators “can't run no more.” Oh, 
>> they were running. All around your end zone as LSU fans grumpily stormed the 
>> exits.
>> 
>> Hey, Joe Alleva. How's that two-for-one deal looking now?
>> 
>> “It just shocks me that somebody would question the Gators,” Florida coach 
>> Jim McElwain said. “The way I look at it, they got what they deserved. And 
>> it should have been worse.”
>> 
>> This was a huge win for McElwain because of what it means. You certainly 
>> could question some of the calls in the game — like the pivoting pitch on 
>> third-and-inches at the goal line and not going for the jugular after the 
>> fumbled kickoff return.
>> 
>> Heck, even he questioned that pitch.
>> 
>> “We were denting them pretty good,” McElwain said. “And we should have kept 
>> denting them.”
>> 
>> But all I know is that he has won the East in each of his first two years 
>> and the last guy to win two in a row was on the phone minutes after the game 
>> in a pretty dang good mood.
>> 
>> Who in the Gator Nation wasn't?
>> 
>> The head coach certainly was, lecturing us after the game about his football 
>> team and even making sure the people back home know how to go up I-75.
>> 
>> “I'm happy for Gator fans who don't think we're very good, but all we do is 
>> end up back in Atlanta,” McElwain said.
>> 
>> Meanwhile in Knoxville, people were being talked off ledges. And In Baton 
>> Rouge, that loud thud you heard was Tiger fans jumping off the Ed Orgeron 
>> bandwagon.
>> 
>> On the final play, Guice ran the wrong way. This was after LSU called 
>> timeout to set it up.
>> 
>> That goes on your resume, bro.
>> 
>> Because of a defense that learned how to move on to the next play, Florida 
>> is going to Atlanta. Because of the second longest touchdown pass in school 
>> history, Florida is going to Atlanta. Because of a kicker who shook off a 
>> rough week and a swirling wind, Florida is going to Atlanta.
>> 
>> And because of a running back who has emerged from a four-pack to become a 
>> 100-yards-a-game machine, an offensive line that overcame injuries and 
>> questions about their effectiveness, defenders like Marcell Harris and David 
>> Reese who combined for 23 tackles, Florida's season has been extended a week.
>> 
>> Considering the two home games they lost, that feels like justice.
>> 
>> The Gators, too, got what they deserved.
